Is Cross Posting Worth It?
βIs cross-posting worth it?β-Jake Rider
In my interview with Jake Rider last week, he asked me
βIs cross-posting worth it?β
My answer: It depends, but here are 7 reasons to consider it for your business.
1. Expanding Your Audience Horizons
Just as a traveler seeks new vistas, a reseller should aim to reach a wider audience. You tap into unique user bases and demographics by cross-posting your eBay listings on alternative platforms. Diversifying your presence allows you to connect with potential buyers who might not have ventured onto eBay but are actively shopping elsewhere. Each platform has its own buyer community, providing fresh opportunities to showcase your inventory.
2. Risk Mitigation: Don't Put All Your Eggs in One Basket
The age-old adage of not putting all your eggs in one basket holds true for reselling. Relying solely on eBay can be risky; market dynamics change, algorithms shift, and policies evolve. A sudden suspension or a drop in eBay visibility can disrupt your income stream. By cross-posting, you spread the risk, ensuring that your business remains resilient even in challenging times.
3. Price Competition and Bargain Hunters
Different platforms attract different types of buyers. While eBay may be known for its auctions and bidding wars, other platforms may have a user base more inclined to purchase at a fixed price. By offering your listings across multiple platforms, you cater to varying buyer preferences, maximizing your chances of sales. Additionally, some platforms may attract bargain hunters looking for unique deals, providing an excellent opportunity to sell surplus or slow-moving inventory.
4. Seasonal and Niche Opportunities
Every selling platform has its unique strengths and niches. Explore platforms aligned with your product categories and seasons. For example, vintage clothing might thrive on Etsy, while electronics find a home on Mercari. Seasonal items, such as holiday decorations, can be strategically posted on platforms where they gain prominence during specific times of the year. By harnessing the specialties of each platform, you maximize your sales potential.
5. SEO and Search Engine Benefits
Cross-posting listings enhances your online visibility. Search engines like Google often index listings from various platforms, boosting your chances of appearing in search results. Leveraging different platforms amplifies your digital footprint, improving your chances of being discovered by search engine users. A broader online presence can even drive more traffic to your eBay store, reinforcing its standing.
6. Creating a Safety Net
Picture your cross-posted listings as safety nets. If one platform experiences downtime, technical issues, or unforeseen disruptions, you can still manage your sales from other platforms. This redundancy ensures uninterrupted service and demonstrates your commitment to customers, even in challenging situations.
7. Learning and Adaptation
Each selling platform comes with its unique rules, algorithms, and community dynamics. By navigating multiple platforms, you become a more versatile reseller. You gain valuable insights into different marketplaces and can adapt your strategies accordingly. This diverse experience hones your reselling skills, making you better equipped to thrive in the ever-evolving e-commerce landscape.
